VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|James|DATE|1363633523|CONTENT|Interesting Spectator article, Graham, although I disagree entirely with Nelson&#039;s puffing up  of Sky TV. Maybe he&#039;s after a job there...

Anyway, to today&#039;s TFTD. I&#039;m sorry, Peter, but far from finding John Bell&#039;s contribution &#039;fairly platitudinous&#039;, I thought it was a textbook example of the smug, platitudinous inanity that epitomises a bad TFTD. 5/5 from me all the way. In particular, I found the implication that Mandela&#039;s and Pope Francis&#039;s respective elections were somehow &#039;acts of God&#039; to be, frankly, completely insulting to the listeners&#039; collective intelligence. 

How is it that on a programme whose interviewers are noted for their often forensic dissection of  interviewees&#039; comments, the TFTD crew are allowed to get away with spouting non-thinking stuff like this? Can&#039;t we spice TFTD up by getting them to be questioned by John Humphreys afterwards?
